Cassette Tape
How can I get music from an old cassette tape onto a cd or my computer?
My uncle was in a bluegrass band in the early 80's and a copy of the cassette tape his band made has come into my posession. it is the only one left as far as i know. My uncle passed away in 2000, so it very important to me that this music be saved. Can anyone tell me how to get the music turned into a digital file somehow to put on a computer or burned to cd?
It's reasonably straightforward..
You will need:
Tape player
PC Line In and cable to connect to tape output (if you are using a laptop, you may have to connect via USB in which case you will need an audio interface)
Some software
Fire up your software, start your tape and away you go... save the resulting files as WAV (not MP3, you would be mad to try and burn compressed MP3 files onto a CD)
If you go for the free software option (audacity) you will have to save each track separately - I recommend Magix Audi Cleaning Lab which can detect tracks automatically for you, and burns the CD within the software - much more user-friendly than Audacity...
All the steps (whichever software you choose) here:
